The 2016 FIA World Rally Championship-2 was the fourth season of the World Rally Championship-2, an auto racing championship recognized by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile , ran in support of the World Rally Championship . It was created when the Group R class of rally car was introduced in 2013 . The Championship was open to cars complying with R4 , R5 , and Super 2000 regulations. The Championship was composed of thirteen rallies, and drivers and teams had to nominate a maximum of seven events. The best six results counted towards the championship.[1]
After winning in 2015 and 2014 , Nasser Al-Attiyah didn't participate in the 2016 season. The Qatari driver decided to focus on the 2016 Dakar Rally and on training for the 2016 Summer Olympics , in attempt to win a medal in the Men's Skeet event.[2]

Notes
^1 – Rally Sweden was shortened due to warm weather conditions turning frozen roads into soft, muddy gravel and making the studded tyres unsafe to use.[6]
^2 – Rally China was cancelled due to weather damage caused by torrential storms and flooding in July.[7]
^3 – The route of Rally Australia was shortened following concerns over dust reducing visibility in forest stages.
